ROME

Capital of Italy

This is the train station "Rome Termini". When I first arrived, I was shocked by the place, the first impression to me was that it looks like Malaysia. It's so dirty, smelly and traffic everywhere, in an unorderly fashion. So, this is what I called "European Malaysia".

Taken at the Trevi Fountain






From Bercy station in Paris to Rome. We met one guy from Singapore. So. we travelled together for the next few days in Rome.

This is the Trevi Fountain. Legend says that anyone who throws a coin into the fountain will return to the Eternal City. So, we did. There are so many people crowding the fountain, taking pictures and drinking water. It is the most majestic in Rome, and the most famous throughout the world.

Colosseo

This is the most ancient monument from ancient Rome. Its building began in 7.5. A.D. and was opened in 80 A.D., an opening celebrated with a full day of bloody games during which, according to legend, five thousand animals were killed. This was a gruesome leisure activity for the ancient Romans: prisoners condemned to death were torn to pieces by ferocious beasts, animals were killed by archers and there were fights to the death between “professional” gladiators. The surface area of the Coliseum, which totals about 19,000 square meters, was arranged into four sections, each of which could hold up to 70,000 spectators.
